Why the 2027 Volvo EX60 Is the Mid-Size Electric SUV Families Have Been Waiting For

The transition to electric mobility has reached a defining moment. Families across Ontario are seeking vehicles that combine practicality, advanced technology, and genuine environmental benefits without compromise. The 2027 Volvo EX60 answers this call as an all-electric mid-size SUV built on new architecture that eliminates the traditional barriers to EV adoption.

This five-seater brings together class-leading range, rapid charging capability, and Scandinavian design principles. For drivers considering their first electric vehicle or seeking to upgrade from a hybrid, the EX60 shows that electric driving no longer requires sacrifice.

New Architecture Powers Real-World Range

The EX60 is built on Volvo's new SPA3 electric vehicle architecture and powered by the HuginCore core computing system. This foundation incorporates cell-to-body battery technology, next-generation in-house developed electric motors, and mega casting manufacturing techniques that reduce weight while boosting efficiency.

The result is up to 640 kilometres on a single charge in the P12 AWD Electric variant. The P10 AWD Electric variant offers up to 514 kilometres of range. Both configurations provide all-wheel drive capability.

Key Range & Efficiency Features:

• SPA3 architecture optimized for electric performance
• Cell-to-body battery integration reducing weight
• 0.26 drag coefficient enhancing aerodynamic efficiency
• Long wheelbase and flat floor maximizing interior space

These figures match or exceed many gasoline-powered mid-size SUVs in terms of practical driving distance, effectively ending range anxiety for most daily driving scenarios and weekend getaways.

Ten-Minute Charging Changes the Equation

Range figures matter less when recharging happens quickly. The EX60 can add up to 270 kilometres of range in just ten minutes when connected to a 400 kW fast charger. This transforms the charging experience from a lengthy wait into a quick coffee stop during road trips.

This charging speed shifts how electric vehicles integrate into real life. The combination of substantial range and rapid charging means the EX60 matches the convenience patterns of traditional vehicles while delivering the environmental and cost benefits of electric power.

The vehicle's charging system is designed for Canadian conditions, with battery temperature management ensuring consistent performance across seasons. The charging interface allows drivers to monitor charging status, set maximum charge levels, and schedule charging times through both the vehicle's display and the Volvo Cars app.

Scandinavian Design and Practical Versatility

The EX60's exterior reflects purposeful Scandinavian design principles. A low front profile, sloping roofline, and tapered body sides contribute to the 0.26 drag coefficient while creating a confident, modern presence. The design is distinctly electric yet unmistakably Volvo.

Inside, the EX60 prioritizes space, comfort, and thoughtful details. The long wheelbase creates generous rear legroom, while the flat floor eliminates the traditional transmission tunnel for improved passenger comfort. Smart storage solutions throughout the cabin keep personal items organized, and the large luggage compartment accommodates family gear or weekend adventure equipment.

Natural, high-end materials create a calm, refined atmosphere. The interior avoids visual clutter, instead offering a serene environment that reduces driver fatigue during longer journeys.

Technology That Thinks, Processes, and Acts

The EX60 introduces the latest iteration of HuginCore, Volvo's core computing system that processes information from sensors, manages vehicle functions, and delivers a smooth user experience. This system reflects collaboration with technology leaders including Google, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm Technologies.

The EX60 becomes the first Volvo to launch with Gemini, Google's AI assistant. Unlike traditional voice command systems that require specific phrases, Gemini allows natural conversation without memorizing commands. Drivers can ask questions, request navigation changes, or control vehicle functions using everyday language.

The infotainment system delivers the most responsive experience in any Volvo to date. Screens react instantly, maps load without delay, and the interface provides quick access to frequently used functions. This responsiveness reduces distraction and keeps attention focused on driving.

Advanced Technology Highlights:

• Gemini AI assistant for natural voice interaction
• Android Automotive OS with Google built-in
• Apple Music pre-installed with Dolby Atmos support
• 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system with headrest speakers
• Over-the-air updates improving the vehicle over time

The premium Bowers & Wilkins audio system includes headrest speakers in all four main seats for the first time in a Volvo vehicle, creating an immersive listening experience that rivals dedicated home audio systems.

Safety Leadership Continues

Volvo's safety reputation extends fully to the EX60. The vehicle goes beyond regulatory requirements and rating benchmarks.

HuginCore constantly assesses the environment around the vehicle through an array of sensors, creating a clear understanding of surroundings. This awareness powers active safety systems designed to prevent collisions before they occur.

The multi-adaptive safety belt, a world-first innovation, offers personalized protection in the front row by adjusting to individual occupants and collision scenarios. At the core of the structure sits a safety cage strengthened with boron steel, working together with state-of-the-art restraints to provide optimal protection.

The EX60's safety systems monitor for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and large animals, providing warnings and automatic braking when needed. Cross traffic alert assists when reversing with limited visibility, while oncoming lane mitigation helps prevent head-on collisions.

Environmental Leadership Matches the Smaller EX30

The EX60 achieves the lowest carbon footprint of any fully electric Volvo car, matching that of the smaller EX30. This accomplishment results from the efficiency gains of the SPA3 architecture, thoughtful material selection, and manufacturing innovations including mega casting.

For drivers prioritizing environmental impact, the EX60 takes a genuine step forward. The combination of electric propulsion, efficient design, and reduced manufacturing emissions creates a vehicle that addresses climate concerns without compromising capability or comfort.

The vehicle's design also considers end-of-life recyclability, with materials selected for their ability to be recovered and reused. This lifecycle approach ensures the EX60's environmental benefits extend beyond its years on the road.

Transparent Ordering and Accessible Pricing

Volvo has designed the EX60 ordering experience around simplicity and transparency. The Canadian One Price Promise provides clear pricing, detailed content specifications, and precise delivery timing. Customers can choose pre-configured vehicles for faster delivery or fully customize their EX60 with slightly longer wait times.

The P10 AWD Electric variant will arrive in Ontario by fall 2026, starting from $77,500. This pricing positions the EX60 competitively within the mid-size SUV segment while delivering the long-term cost advantages of electric operation, including lower fuel costs and reduced maintenance requirements.

Cross Country Variant Extends Capability

Volvo simultaneously introduced the EX60 Cross Country variant, continuing the brand's popular Cross Country heritage in electric form. This version sits 20 millimetres higher than the standard EX60, with air suspension capable of adding another 20 millimetres when needed for challenging terrain.

The Cross Country features exclusive Frost Green paint, unique wheels, brushed stainless steel skid plates, and distinctive Cross Country branding. The air suspension also lowers the vehicle for highway driving, enhancing efficiency and stability while maximizing range.

Canadian launch timing for the EX60 Cross Country will be announced separately, providing adventure-oriented drivers with a compelling electric option.
